    Hey guys sorry i had to post this i was trying to sreach the brake,subframe forums but no luck.
    anywho, the problem is i have to change my rear brake pads on my e30 but the bolts are hard to get too! i got the botom one off east but the top one is hard! the brake line is in the way. my instink tells me to just remove the brake line but i wanted to get some advice before i go ahead and do that.
